…and change. A majority of adults wouldn’t vote to reelect the president. I’ll bet the numbers would be even worse for likely voters. They’ve obviously become racists…
Seriously, buyers’ remorse has set in after only one year. Well, I warned them, but better late than never.
More manipulation of the temperature data.
As far as I’m concerned, all work in this field is suspect.
Alan Boyle, on why the Haiti quake was so devastating.
Thoughts from Victor Davis Hanson:
I am fortunate for a wonderful graduate education in the PhD program at Stanford, but I learned more about the way the world works in two months of farming (which saved a wretch like me) than in four years of concentrated study.
In short, the world does not work on a nine-month schedule. It does not recognize concepts like tenure. It does not care for words without action. And brilliance is not measured by vocabulary or SAT scores. Wowing a dean, or repartee into a seminar, or clever put-downs of rivals in the faculty lounge don’t translate into running a railroad—or running the country. One Harry Truman, or Dwight Eisenhower is worth three Bill Clintons or Barack Obamas. If that sounds reductionist, simplistic, or anti-intellectual, it is not meant to—but so be it nonetheless.
I’ve never been less impressed with Ivy League degrees than I am now.

This looks like it. It’s at Asilomar.
Well, March is a beautiful time to drive up the coast highway, though it’s pretty chilly in Pacific Grove that time of year (or any time, really — the wind off Point Joe can be bitter even in the summer).
My concern is that the people discussing space-based solutions will use bad (i.e., overly high) estimates for launch costs, because they won’t understand the economics of space technology.
It’s not getting to the moon that’s expensive — it’s getting back. Jon Goff has some thoughts on how to kick start a human lunar program on the cheap.
We don’t pay for it.
Want to reform health care? Fix that.
And a thug enabler running for Senate in Massachusetts.

Here’s a first-hand report from the thugeeassault victim (who was given similar treatment by Scozzafava’s entourage in New York when they called the cops on him).
[Afternoon update]
Meehan has apologized to McCormack.
